Uber piloting Cash payments in UAE

After running tests in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco and Qatar, Uber is finally piloting cash payments in the UAE. The option is only available to a few users initially but will be rolled out to all users with time.

The cash option is an alternate to the Credit Card option and users can select either prior to booking the right. Uber users, however, cannot split the ride between the two options and have to make the payment with one mode only.

While it is pretty convenient to pay by credit card, an additional mode of payment can definitely be useful, especially if there’s a time when your credit card payments won’t go through.
